[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disproportionate compared to what? Does KiPP discriminate as well with their disproportions? How about Banneker? How about the new all male pubic HS?[/quote]

Disproportionate compared to what?.  Disproportionate compared to the city they are supposed to serve.

Your comparisons prove my point.  Bannker is not designed and does not claim to serve the entire city.  It is designed to serve a specific set of kids that test in.  The all male public HS is obviously designed to serve all males.   It is not designed to and does not claim to serve all DC students.

But Latin is specifically chartered to serve every student in the city, and to provide them with equal access and opportunity.  And it claims it does, as do its proponents.  But somehow, the school serves a disproportionately small number of AA students and an even more disproportionately small number of low-income families.

I wonder why this is the case?  And if you are a supporter of the school, shouldn't you at least wonder why this is the case?
